Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

George Warren, Jr., Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

May 24, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1142

Summary

The Court reversed the murder conviction because the trial court failed to give a self‑defense instruction on the use of deadly force under V.T.C.A. Penal Code §9.32, despite the defendant's request and evidence raising that issue.
